Re: Failed to join game!
Try reading the Multiplayer FAQ. http://www.agecommunity.com/faq_mp.aspx Also if you're getting a popup about "Your IP is showing" it's likely you have spyware on your computer. Everyone's IP is showing, there is no way to hide it.

Re: Failed to join game!
Q. I am encountering general connectivity issues; such as
the error messages "Invalid IP Address", "Host Canceled/rejected" or
"failed to join game"; what can I do?
If you encounter any of the above error messages then most likely there is a conflict with age3 and a router setting. - Power Cycle your network hardware: Turn off your modem, router, and computer.
Wait a few minutes then turn them back on one at a time in the listed order.
Some routers need to be power cycled to except new versions of software such as Age of Empires 3 - If you connect wirelessly, connect with a wired connection.
- Verify your Firewall or internet security software is allowing Age3 (age3.exe) and TWC (age3x.exe) to pass through
- Disable your Firewall or internet security software temporarily while you test connecting to the game.
- Upgrade your firmware on your router and your network card
- Toggle UPnP (If you have UPnP on, try turning it off and if you have UPnP off, try turning it on.
- Test with the DMZ setting both on and off
- Port
forward UDP and TCP/IP ports 2300-2310 to your machine. If that range
does not work try expanding it to cover ports 2300-2340, or try using
the OverridePort command listed below.
- Some routers have a Gaming Mode. Be sure to enable that option if your router supports this feature.
- If your router has logging turned on make sure to clean off your logs or restart logging before playing Age of Empires 3
- Change your computers IP on your router. Example: if your computer sits at 192.168.0.100 change it to 192.168.0.200
Note, if you need assistance configuring your router please refer to your router manufacture.

Re: failed to join game..
Yes this seems far too common for myself and my friend as well. I can't even play with my friend who lives on the other side of town! I am in the information technology field and know all about port forwarding and firewalls but this problem still plagues me. I've tried all kinds of different tweaks; dynamic/static, upnp on/off, power cycle all hardware, update firmware. You name it... I've spent hours trying to get it right.
I have no problems playing other games online. While ESO admins may contest that it is a connection problem with varying routers that are unable to sync up, I think otherwise.
The ESO servers seem to be the problem. It's really a joke to buy an expansion when there are only just a handful of games to choose from and I am able to connect to roughly 10% of them. The Quick Match feature is a joke, you can put it on a search with settings wide open and it'll search for 10 mins and still bring no luck.

Re: Failed to join games
I know all about the FAQs... Two years ago I bought a new modem after AOE3 came out to fix some issues... I haven't played for a couple of weeks and today when I tried to log in and connect to games I stared receiving Failed to Join messages for ALL games. That has never happened before and it was rare that I ever received any Failed to Join messages. Not sure what the problem is but I simply can't play any longer. One question I have. My user.cfg still contains a line that reads: internetAddressServer="72.3.239.134" Is that still needed? That was a fix recommended by ES after a patch long ago.

Re: Failed to join games
I tried the solution offered by dys4ik and now I can join some games but I still get the message when attempting to connect to many games. As I said in my last post, I didn't have this problem at all when I last tried to play a couple of weeks ago.
